The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Follow a thought experiment with me: Assume
traditional news media have absolutely no
political or partisan agenda. (Work with me
here....) And in the interests of Ghost The Next 100 Years
"objectivity," each article, TV segment, etc.,
has a variety of people with diametrically New Books Coming Soon from Fred
opposed views yelling at or speaking past each Burton & George Friedman
other. For good or ill, market realities have
forced traditional media to appeal to niche Get Autographed Copies FREE with
markets, polarizing them toward either the far your Renewal Membership!
left or far right.

The vast bulk of news consumers seem to accept
this. Stratfor Members, though, know that
there's a better choice.
It's an election year, and the mainstream media are full of candidates'
positioning and posturing. Sadly I can't do anything about that. But Stratfor
is here to address critical global issues - without partisan rancor or
ideological ranting.

So here's your opportunity to lock in savings on a longer-term Stratfor
Membership. You'll save money from the first day and protect yourself against
any future price increases. And just as a special thank-you to loyal Members,
I'll toss in books from two of Stratfor's most popular authors, Fred Burton and
George Friedman.
